Nvidia’s hunt for Jensen Huang’s successor: insiders, rivals and a Trump pick

The sudden departure of Jensen Huang, who has led Nvidia for its entire 33-year history, has set the stage for a high-stakes leadership search. Interim chief Colette Kress, veteran engineers, Huang's family, and even a Trump-era pick are being considered to take the helm. This transition is monumental for the AI chip industry, given Huang's pivotal role in shaping the company's trajectory and navigating the competitive landscape. The outcome will likely influence Nvidia’s strategic direction and its position against rivals.
